Open Google Talk, hit menu, Settings and uncheck Automatically sign in.

thanks!

Talk.apk - Google Talk App
Safe.
Has caused a few to not be able to download from the market on the new 2.1 if removed.

gtalkservice.apk - Google Talk
Unsafe. No market Downloads.


that answers that.

Open Google Talk, hit menu, Settings and uncheck Automatically sign in.

tried unchecking, rebooting, gtalkservice is still running. went to talk and i was signed in. its a conspiracy

ive even gone into advanced task killer and set it to low. then killed talk. rebooted, gtalkservice is still running. it must need to run for google driven apps. o well. live and learn.

just go into running services and stop google talk when you start up your phone. same with the sprint zone.

you can add a link to running services on your home screen.


running services should be in settings - applications - running services.

i'd recommend startup auditor. lets you select things to be automatically killed that startup on boot up. i love it. use it for sprint services and gtalk. i'll never have to use running services again

Here's a suggestion: sign out of Talk, then stop messing with the operating system. You are not smarter than the people who wrote the code.

Since you've failed to research the well-documented reasons why the Google Talk service needs to be running in order for your phone to operate correctly with other Google and Android products, I leave you to your self-made impending disaster. I look forward to seeing your future "why don't my market work??" posts.
